X-Wing Store Championship - Round 5

Round five from the Athena Games' store championship comes down to a real nail-biting finish so please take the time to watch the match through to the end, You'll thank me for it.

Pick-Up Game: Chase "Triple X" vs Tim "3 Squints"

Asheville Flight Club return after a short break from videos. Whilst their videos are of particularly low quality, the fact that the games played are not part of an organised tournament results in some interesting variety compared to the usual decimator/Whisper that we have seen run 25 times already. In the case of this video we see three X-Wings up against three TIE Interceptor.

X-Wing Store Championship - Double Falcon vs Jax Whisper Howlrunner

Northern Gaming Network brings us another match from their store championship. This match sees a double falcon list go up against an TrIEfecta of TIEs.

the commentary on this video features one of the players and you can listen in and see exactly why I always say that at least one of the commentators should have played in the match. The insight that Ian provides into the play by play game information takes a lot of the pressure of the other commentators and results in a much more natural and informative conversation.

Star Wars X-Wing Battle Report TIE-SPAM 1

German language LtCmdrBareik has an interesting take on a battle report by uploading a series of short videos where the highlights of the game are played out. For the most part these videos are too short to give you a good idea of how the game went and what tithe the shaky cam and cluttered playfield there's no real sense of how the game progresses

Star Wars X-Wing League 2015 Q1 Brendan VS James

Another video from Chris Gilmore and FCB Comics and Games in store event this past weekend

This video seems to be a rematch from this earlier post.

Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures Game League Match Triple X vs Cloak And Dagger

Chris Gilmore uploads ta few more videos from the FCB comics and games twitch stream.

Once again being part of a stream the video quality isn't of the highest quality and there is a lot of glare from the store lights that make details harder to make out.

The solo commentator does an excellent job but i feel the commentary will always seem more natural when there are two participants to be able to make it more conversational.

X-Wing at FCB: Hairy Situation

This Dylan Wintersteen channel shows up out of nowhere with a pretty well produced video.

The two participants provide the post game commentary discussing features and choices in their lists as well as how they had expected the other to act at key points.

The Video is well produced and high quality, using the sanctioned dice overlays to indicate dice rolls and a more disctinctive but very clear squad layout indicating the hit points left on each ship.

X-Wing Miniatures Sample Tournaments Lists Interceptors vs Concept

Allen Lancing has a lets play channel and today started uploading short battle report videos. using the brief summary format where the players give a brief description of the last turns play.

A more complete battle report could include at least the combat phase after giving a summary of the activation phase but this video does a good job of reviewing their tournament practice.

In the final round of the Fly Casual tournament report Ian's Han, Luke and Airen list takes on some stiff competition from and imperial elite squad Which comes down to a nail biting conclusion.

X-Wing GNK Round 2 - 3x Phantom vs Phantom/Interceptor/Vader

In this channel focus series I will be publishing all the videos found on a specific channel to help complete the blog as a directory for all YouTube content. video analysis will not be necessary as the most recent video by the publisher has already been analysed.

X-Wing Miniatures - Game Night Round 3 Vader/Whisper/Jax vs. Fel/DoomShu...

A cool Batrep from a game store game night where two imperial lists go head to head. Image quality is very good on this video with an interesting low angle view of the play surface and high definition video making it very easy to follow along with the game. back ground audio is at a level where it is unobtrusive to the commentators whilst still giving enough information from the players, at one point a crit is clearly read out by one of the players ( a rare occurence in x-wing vids where you are normally left guessing which crit is dealt). Dice rolls are also easily discernable. The commentators are interesting if a bit slow at times, a better pace would help hold the viewers attention better.

The only complaint I'd have regarding the camera angle is that the models on the far edge of the table are not visible, their bases are, but if there were several small base ships battling along that edge it would be hard to tell which is which.

Overall a good quality video from a channel that is worth a subscription to see what more they can come up with.

Score: 8/10
